Materials

Notes

  1. Onboarding and kickoff to our year (see slides)

  2. TAG members voice over suggested priorities for the 2021-22 year (see slides)

  3. Continue on the topic of how to improve the efficiency with which Level 1 error messages are handed

  4.  

    • TAG members voiced interest in improving the error messages

    • Question: Have you talked to Stack Overflow about a different pricing model for a nonprofit like Ed-Fi?

    • One suggestion was to focus on just the most painful areas, instead of tackling whole issue

    • One other proposed idea was to try and validate the data on pre-submission to the API; the mechanism for this was not discussed

    • Another idea: have API errors link to the community resource we create

    • Another idea: when considering a platform wide change, consider looking at opentelemetry.io standards to implement tracing/logging and metrics and replacing log4net by serilog

  5. Solicit interest in breakouts focused on Ed-Fi data standardization efforts

Action Items

  • Eric to send TAG poll to prioritize topics

  • Eric to send survey for Data Standardization subgroup participation
